System Dependencies

If you want to get Spanish data, you'll need a system dependency called mdbtools. mdbtools is not required for any other functions. Installation for major platforms:

• macos: brew install mdbtools
• deb: apt-get install mdbtools
• fedora: yum install mdbtools
• windows: not sure, anyone?

Install

remotes::install_github("kunstler/laselva")

The emld R package is required for EML metadata access in ls_fetch_jpn(). If you don't have it installed we'll just return an empty list
